Western Australia

Western Australia is Australia's largest state in area, covering the western third of the mainland.

A sophisticated, scenic city, there is plenty to do in Western Australia’s capital, Perth. (See also Getting Around Perth and Perth Restuarants.) Cool down with Swan River water sports, enjoy a glass of local wine or explore the bushland in central Kings Park.
